Hi ive got a question about fines I think i got snapped by a speed camera last sunday at wollongong no more than 10 ks over probaly 5 or less really which is a 4 demerit loss for red P's so my question is today i just got my green P's which means i have 7 demerits am i safe from being suspended or will it count as a red P offence becuase i was on my reds at the time.

being a P plater the rules are still rather fresh.. You have since progressed to your greens which means the fine was not finalised if infact u were pinged (RTA is notified of infringments as they are processed by police etc).. So you will be keeping your licence because they would of informed you at the test that u had a outstanding offence that has not been served..

If you were pinged for less then 5 I doubt it would go through as they have a 10% margin for error. I have a friend who is a cop and thats what he told me. OR u can play the innacurate speedo crapola if u can still do that??

Hope that helps put your mind at ease.. If you dont recieve anything over the next 2 weeks then your safe for sure.

Cheers,

David

^^ Lol lucky birdman

Last time i did the innacurate speedo thing it failed...even with dyno proof and a stat dec letter...but it did delay the fine process for about 2 years :D

I had an offence on my red p's that carried over onto my greens a few years ago. I didnt get the running out of points suspension but i did get the 3 month 30-45 one.

I'd say youre gonna get the suspension unless you were under the 10% margin of error.

Thanks for the replies it seems we are thinking along the same lines if i got snapped it looks like a suspension if i do get the fine i can ask a few people to take the point for me

it just seems a bit harsh if i get done for 5 ks over and loose my licence but thats life i guess lol.

Thanks again for your input.

My sister got done and was going to lose her license I think she took it to court because that would delay it enough that she'd get some points back so you may be right now that you're on your greens. And if you have 4 demerits I thought you could still drive until you got booked again i.e you really have to lose 5 points to be disqualified?

Accumulate 4 demerits on reds and you're out.

Also, the 10% thing is a crock of shit.

Most HWP will give around 10KM/H on 70+km/h zones, but they don't have to.

ADRs are written such that the 10% is no longer +/- but it is now that the speedo can only read 10% higher... IE, you're travelling at 100KM/H, speedo can read from 100 - 110KM/H

years ago it used to be able to read from 90 - 110KM/H... Not any more.

If you were only 5 over, you're probably safe, I've been through most of the cameras in WGong 5 over and never been done.

"If" you do get done it may be on your greens. I'm only saying this because a bloke I know got done for dui on his p's and the cops said to him if you get your full licence you may get less for being on your blacks...

All else fails ring rta...

Actually the speedo only needs to be accurate within 10% to 40 km/h to meet ADR's. Above 40km/h and its what the manufacturer specifies.

.

You used to get 4 points on your red p's now you get 3, so to be disqualified you need 4 points, on the old system that meant 5 points to be disqualified from driving.

    • Would this not be the same for the exhaust you've posted up?  If your exhaust volume and emissions are fine, why does the brand of pipe matter? 
    • The issue is more the fact that there is inspectors that deal with japanese cars a lot and they might know what a real Mines pipe looks like. And then they're gonna get antsy and not pass your car. But I'd have to talk to one of them about this, because you know as well as me that it's just a damn pipe and it effectively doesn't do anything. As I need to have my GT2860s and my exhaust setup (and the increase in HP) TÜV'd anyways maybe they can just correct the entry in the papers or assign a badge to the front pipe. I'm no expert either though, will inquire about this.     Thanks for the insight. Not sure if having a custom made pipe is good or not. Will find out in due time I suppose. Would be kind of funny if this was made in Germany though.
    • See this is a really tricky topic as technically the same rules apply to all cars but for cars but there is a difference. If you want to modify a car like the Skyline which never existed here you have a bit more freedom as they do not adhere to EU specs anyway. Any modification you do has to be in dividually checked anyway so as long as one of the inspectors think it's ok and within the TÜV ruleset you can get stuff like a top secret rear diffuser put in your papers. Which frankly would need a shitload of tests and certificates for EU spec cars, like a 2010 BMW M3 for example. But if you DO run these tests and all tests come out ok (safety stuff for the most part) there is no problem running such a part legally. It's just way too expensive to do for a single person on one car. The most touchy parts are emissions related mods, like an exhaust, turbos, air intakes. If it makes noise or alters the carbon emissions it's essentially illegal until you prove it's not. Meaning it doesn't exceed noise limits or have worse carbon emissions. I'd say for hoses if you replace them same same it doesn't matter what material they are or what brand you use. Same for nuts and bolts usually, they won't go and specifically check that your water hoses and some bolts are 100% OEM parts, that is nonsense.
    • What I don't understand here is that it mentions using a sealant. So either way you're ruining the inside of the tire and making a huge mess to clean up. Why not just do that, air it back up to spec, then take it all off and put it back in the car? Also, why not just include a plug kit that's not garbage?
    • What a f**king weener. I have worked in Gary, IN. At the time there were more gun deaths each night there than almost anywhere else in the world. Still not a reason to be afraid. 95% of people from your part of the world only have 3 teeth left from when you were addicted to meth, and now you're perpetually wrecked by Fentanyl. The only saving grace is that most of you didn't vote for Trumpler. Speaking of which, I'm off to the oval office right now. Got to relieve my bowels.
